Manifesto for the 30/31st January 2004


We, women, men and children who are Sans-Papiers, immigrants and refugees as well as all those concerned with human rights, are determined to strengthen and enlarge the global long term struggle against repression, detention centres, exploitation, sexism, racism and all other discrimination, violence and slavery.


At the European level, we demand:


* Freedom of movement and settlement.


* Immediate closure of all detention camps in all European countries.


* An end to all deportations.


* The right to citizenship and permanent residency for all, in all European countries, including equal access to social, economic, cultural and political rights for all.


* Implementation of a real right to asylum, including official recognition of rape and other forms of sexual violence as persecution and therefore grounds for asylum.


* An end to exploitation and neo-slavery, and the right to work based on the same entitlements as the workers in the country where we settle.


* Unconditional regularisation (right to stay) for all Sans-Papiers.


* For children; the right to live with their family in the community, receive free schooling and health care and to end deportations of unaccompanied children and young people.
